3 And on many waters
your revenue was the grain of Shihor,
the harvest of the Nile;
you were ^athe merchant of the nations.
4 Be ashamed, O ^bSidon, for the sea has spoken,
the stronghold of the sea, saying:
“I have neither labored nor given birth,
I have neither reared young men
nor brought up young women.”
5 When the report comes to Egypt,
they will be in anguish ^{▼▼Hebrew they will have labor pains} over the report about Tyre.
6 ^dCross over to Tarshish;
wail, O inhabitants of the coast!
7 Is this your exultant city
^ewhose origin is from days of old,
whose feet carried her
to settle far away?
8 Who has purposed this
against Tyre, the bestower of crowns,
whose merchants were princes,
whose traders were the honored of the earth?

Ezekiel 27:3

3 and say to Tyre, who dwells at ^fthe entrances to the sea, ^gmerchant of the peoples to many coastlands, thus says the Lord God:

“O Tyre, you have said,
‘I am ^hperfect in beauty.’

Ezekiel 27:12-36

12 ⁱ“Tarshish did ^jbusiness with you because of your great wealth of every kind; silver, iron, tin, and lead they exchanged for your ^kwares. 13 ^lJavan, ^mTubal, and ⁿMeshech traded with you; they exchanged human beings and vessels of bronze for your merchandise. 14 From ^oBeth-togarmah they exchanged horses, war horses, and mules ^pfor your wares. 15 The men of ^qDedan ^{▼▼Hebrew; Septuagint Rhodes} traded with you. Many coastlands were your own special markets; they brought you in payment ivory tusks and ebony. 16 Syria ^sdid business with you because of your abundant goods; they exchanged for your wares ^temeralds, ^upurple, ^vembroidered work, ^wfine linen, coral, and ^xruby. 17 Judah and the land of Israel traded with you; they exchanged for your merchandise ^ywheat of ^zMinnith, meal, ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew word is unknown} honey, oil, and ^abbalm. 18 ^acDamascus did business with you for your abundant goods, because of your great wealth of every kind; wine of Helbon and ^adwool of Sahar 19 and casks of wine ^{▼▼Probable reading; Hebrew wool of Sahar, Vedan, and Javan} from Uzal they exchanged for your wares; wrought iron, ^afcassia, and ^agcalamus were bartered for your merchandise. 20 Dedan traded with you in saddlecloths for riding. 21 Arabia and all the princes of ^ahKedar were your favored dealers ^aiin lambs, rams, and goats; in these they did business with you. 22 The traders of ^ajSheba and ^akRaamah traded with you; they exchanged ^alfor your wares ^amthe best of all kinds of spices and all precious stones and gold. 23 ^anHaran, Canneh, ^aoEden, traders of Sheba, ^apAsshur, and Chilmad traded with you. 24 In your market these traded with you in choice garments, in clothes of ^aqblue and ^arembroidered work, and in carpets of colored material, bound with cords and made secure. 25 ^asThe ships of ^atTarshish traveled for you with your merchandise. So you were filled and heavily laden ^auin the heart of the seas.

26 “Your rowers have brought you out
into the high seas.
^avThe east wind has wrecked you
in the heart of the seas.
27 Your riches, your wares, your merchandise,
your mariners and ^awyour pilots,
^axyour caulkers, your dealers in merchandise,
and all your men of war who are in you,
with all your crew
that is in your midst,
sink into the heart of the seas
^ayon the day of your fall.
28 At the sound of the cry of your pilots
^azthe countryside shakes,
29 and down from their ships
^bacome all who handle the oar.
The mariners and all the pilots of the sea
stand on the land
30 ^bband shout aloud over you
and cry out bitterly.
^bcThey cast dust on their heads
^bdand wallow in ashes;
31 they ^bemake themselves bald for you
and put sackcloth on their waist,
and they weep over you in bitterness of soul,
with bitter mourning.
32 In their wailing they ^bfraise a lamentation for you
and lament over you:
^bg‘Who is like Tyre,
like one destroyed in the midst of the sea?
33 When your wares came from the seas,
^bhyou satisfied many peoples;
with your abundant wealth and merchandise
^biyou enriched the kings of the earth.
34 Now ^bjyou are wrecked by the seas,
in the depths of the waters;
your merchandise and all your crew in your midst
have sunk with you.
35 ^bkAll the inhabitants of the coastlands
are appalled at you,
and ^blthe hair of their kings bristles with horror;
their faces are convulsed.
36 ^bmThe merchants among the peoples ^bnhiss at you;
^boyou have come to a dreadful end
and shall be no more forever.’”

Revelation of John 18:3

3 For all nations have drunk ^{▼▼Some manuscripts fallen by}
^bqthe wine of the passion of her sexual immorality,
and ^brthe kings of the earth have committed immorality with her,
and ^bsthe merchants of the earth have grown rich from the power of her luxurious living.”

14 “The fruit for which your soul longed
has gone from you,
and all your delicacies and your splendors
are lost to you,
never to be found again!”
15 ^buThe merchants of these wares, who gained wealth from her, ^bvwill stand far off, in fear of her torment, weeping and mourning aloud,

Revelation of John 18:19

19 And they threw ^bwdust on their heads as they wept and mourned, crying out,

“Alas, alas, for the great city
^bxwhere all who had ships at sea
grew rich by her wealth!
For ^byin a single hour she has been laid waste.
